Equipment List

To capture breath-movements:

-LilyPad microcontroller and BlueTooth Silver Mate to capture data and send wirelessly to a computer.
-Stretch sensors to detect breath-related movements of the body.
-Conductive thread to connect stretch sensors, LilyPad microcontroller, etc.
-Skin-tight shirt (stretch sensors will be sewn directly onto this layer).
-Extra cloth or shirts for additional layers of PMC, in order to avoid the unintentional crossing of conductive thread.
-Additional thread and fabric paint to cover fraying ends of conductive thread, etc.
-Pre-made outer-layer shirt, to house the LilyPad and BlueTooth, and for aesthetic purposes.

To capture breathing sounds:

-Stethoscope, with tube cut short
-Small microphone
-Heat-shrink wrap & electrical tape, to connect stethoscope and microphone


To process sounds and create musical piece:

-Computer running SuperCollider, with external soundcard, hooked up to two speakers. Ultimately I may like to work with a four or eight speaker setup, and to use a mixing board, as well, but this will be in later iterations of the project.
